In this intermediate, application-oriented course, students will learn the tools and functionality necessary to complete a desktop mapping project, using ERDAS'  LPS. Instructors will explain how to triangulate a block of images, extract elevation data, and create orthorectified imagery. Data sources used include conventional aerial photographic frames and QuickBird imagery from DigitalGlobe. (3 day class)

Learn to:

• Understand basic digital photogrammetric theory needed to use LPS
• Input all necessary data, create and triangulate blocks of imagery
• Use the Automatic Point Measurement tool to improve triangulation results
• Extract elevation data to produce a Digital Terrain Model using tools in LPS
• Display, edit and enhance Digital Elevation Models using standard ERDAS IMAGINE® tools
• Orthorectify multiple images from a block using elevation data from multiple sources
• Mosaic several orthorectified images
• Visualize orthorectified imagery in a standard ERDAS IMAGINE Viewer and use the Image Drape tool to create perspective three-dimensional scenes
